Why Do Dissolvable Stitches Appear White And Ragged?

I was told by the Emergency MD doctor that he stitched dissolving stiches in my top lip (outer). The treatment: use Q-Tip and peroxide to clean. Now the stictches look white and ragged. My lip is noticeable now where it was not earlier this week. Any suggestions?
